SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Redfin (www.redfin.com),
the customer-first real estate brokerage, released a list of the 10 best
neighborhoods across the U.S. to cook and dine at home. Redfin compiled
its list by finding neighborhoods with high numbers of for-sale homes
with cooking-friendly features that were also located near farmers
markets and grocery stores. Home-cooking mecca Allrecipes
crunched the numbers to find the most popular dishes that use both local
and fresh ingredients for each neighborhood.

The number of farmers markets in the U.S. has more than quadrupled since
1994, giving America’s home cooks increasing access to quality
ingredients and recipes, but Redfin
wanted to find the 10 best neighborhoods where this is the case. Redfin
data scientists searched through homes for sale on Redfin.com to find
those with descriptions that mentioned features such as gourmet
kitchens, vegetable gardens and chicken coops. Redfin also only factored
in homes within two miles of farmers markets and good grocery shopping
options. The neighborhood list is as follows:
